Because I Love You

#BecauseILoveYou

What does it mean

Words whispered but the true meaning is one to be screamed.

A word with such power yet used too often

A word that traps, or describes our devotion

 

The words I love you have become so misused

They are the same ones used to pressure us to choose

 

Loss Of Valuable Energy is a more common meaning

Or maybe it is thrown out to keep you from leaving

You know the true purpose but for some reason, you stay

And repeat back the word in the most sincere way.

 

Letting yourself fall for them and giving them your trust

Opening your heart for something besides hope and lust

Visualizing a future that without would be empty

Every morning waking to the thought of them is gifting.

Life's Only Valuable Emotion

 

Maybe it is to show the world how we care

When the most important part is the opinions that they share

So we post #Iloveyou, in hope for a response

Never looking to each other and asking what we want
